Precisely. That is _exactly_ what I was saying. The 1980 model year
was when BB introduced air bag suspension. Coaches built early in
that model year (i.e. December 79) do not have air bags. So, the
change was a "mid-year" implementation. Someone checking the Vintage
Birds web site would see that the 1980 model coaches have "Ridewell
Air Suspension" but that doesn't apply to coaches built early in the
model year. (Keep in mind, in the automotive business, "model years"
tend to run from September through August.)
